In this episode of the Take A Step Podcast, Josh sits down with entrepreneur and real estate investor Brandon Knox to unpack his unconventional journey from acting in New York City to building a successful real estate and investment business in Nashville.

They discuss developing a growth mindset, creating your own luck, stewarding opportunities well, building generational wealth, and redefining success around faith, family, and freedom.

In this episode of The Take A Step Podcast, Josh sits down with entrepreneur Emmett Davis to unpack what it really looks like to build, buy, fail, learn, and keep moving forward.

Emmett shares his journey from cybersecurity and ministry leadership to acquiring a bakery and building a septic company from the ground up. Together, Josh and Emmett explore the realities of entrepreneurship, the power of community, learning through failure, and why your first move doesn’t require a perfect plan.

They also challenge the traditional definition of success. Instead of chasing a destination, what if success is found in the process—taking action, learning, adjusting, and becoming the person capable of reaching the goal?

If you’ve been waiting for clarity before making your next move, this conversation is your reminder: action produces clarity. Take the step.

In this episode of The Take A Step Podcast, Josh sits down with Calvin Favors, founder of Top Dawg Tech Solutions, to unpack his transition from the comfort of corporate America into entrepreneurship. Calvin shares how complacency pushed him to make a change, the intense preparation behind leaving his salary, and why taking action before you have everything figured out is often the key to creating clarity.

Josh and Calvin also dive into building confidence through repetition, developing conviction in what you do, creating your own “luck” by being prepared when opportunities arrive, and redefining what success actually looks like. They close with a conversation around Ikigai and the pursuit of work that combines what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.

If you know you're capable of more but have been waiting for the perfect time to move, this episode is for you.
